This is an extremely odd attitude from someone who's tag line identifies them as libertarian.
I can't think of any libertarian who considers the current campaign finance laws -- restrictive and unconstitutional as they are -- as defining valid crimes. Much less a DA who didn't even follow through on the initial charges, but "creatively" (i.e. arbitrarily) misused money laundering laws against otherwise legal political donations.
Heck, some libertarians aren't even comfortable with those laws being used against drug dealers and organized crime (their intended targets).
Do you really think someone doing normal politics has "committed a" (justly charged) "crime"?! If so, why was a "novel" legal theory needed to charge and convict it?
Isn't it an essential aspect of just law that all crimes are clearly defined in code, such that one can know in advance what actions constitute a crime?
As a libertarian, a conservative, a constitutionalist, or simply an American, how can you possibly view the politically motivated use of a law in a way never remotely intended in its construction, or passage, or previous application, as having ANYTHING to do with justice? In fact it is blatant tyranny. And one of the more common, and corrosive, tactics of tyrants.
BTTT!
As libertarian, I hate hypocrites especially Government officials.
These people, telling us to follow law and pay taxes, and yet they are the first ones who break them.
I didn’t say that Delay created that law that indicted and convicted him.
My point is this: LAW MUST BE APPLIED TO EVERYONE, EQUALLY. IF NOT, THE HELL WITH THE LAW!
He did it ... then let him suffer it.
NOW MOVE ON: Do the same to the shitty Boxer, Rangel, etc.
Why I switched from D to R? Simple. Democrats always love to CREATE A NEW LAW THAT EITHER EXEMPTS THEM OR IS BROKEN FIRST BY THEM.
At least for now, I still find many Republicans to be trustworthy of creating law. I still have high hopes with many honorable Republicans who are truly conservatives and “freedom” lovers.
LIBERTARIAN FIRST POLICY: PUNISH THE HYPOCRITES!
